If this rate is kept up west ern Kansas will again become a paradise lor cattle men. ■o* J im H ill president of the Great North ern opened his heart and his purse and in addition to generous gifts of money, has set aside 5,000 acres of land in the state of Minnesota to be assigned to those made homeless by the big forest fires. How have the mighty fallen? “ Old Hutch,” once famous for his millions made on the board of trade in Chicago is now said to be selling one cent cigars on a corner opposite the board of trade build ing in that city. T ub State Board of Horticulture has re cently received a lurgo invoice of “ lady birds” from Prof. Craw of California. They are being Bent out over the state to the principal horticulturists. The “ lady bird” is a deadly foe to the aphis. T ub Cincinnati Post speaks in the high est praise of a car of prunes and plums re ceived in that city recently from Oregon. This is the first fruit ever sent to Cincin n a ti from this statu. Our fruit Is only beginning to be known east of the Rockies. Every pound of first-class fruit put up in firBt-class shape and sent oast will assist in creating a demand for more like It. w ■1 ________ ' J P. F. M okky president of the electric company of Oregon City says the busi ness done on the Willamotto is increas ing, and the tounago passing through the locks this yoar has been 33,!* |>er cent larger than In any former year since he has boen connected with the business. The business on the river is going to con tinue to increase especially if tho upi>er river is improved as it should he. The hide-bound methods of the Houthern Pa cific are driving shippers to the river wherever they cun roacli it. H. W. C otti ,« has resignod the posi tion of manager for the Ktate Insurance Company of Malora and will go to south ern California. Mr. Cottle was really the father of this company and for several years proved himself a rustler for busi ness, but for the past two years the com pany’s busiess has hepii falling off very rapidly. Deputy Uiltnor of the Secretary ol State's office has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Cottle still retains his interest in tho company and will assist in the management. T ub Capital Nursery Company of Sa lem has on hand a largo stock of experi ence. Last year a seedless Uravenstein apple was discovered by Mr. Helen of Columbus, Washington. All fruit tuken from the troo showed neither core nor seeds, and was therefore considered a most valuable acquisition to tho fruits of tho world. The Capital Nursery Co. pur chased tho tree with nil rights, titlo and everything in connection therewith for |2,000. A largo number of buds were obtained for propagation and a good stock of young trees raised this season. But a change lias come. This year's fruit of the original tree tins been examined late ly and tho apples coutain scuds and cores the same us other Gravensteins. Last yoar's freak of the tree is accounted for on tho theory of imiwrfoct fertilization ; a fertilization that is capable of producing fruit but not sufficient to produce soeds.

Well the begin ning of my trip waa rather tough, inso much that it took about all of the wind I had to reach the top of that mountain I confess, I was pretty badly done up when I got there. However my reception re paid me. I was received by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Larkins to their house where I stayed while there. Mrs. Larkius went to a great deal of trouble to make my trip lucrative os well as pleasant and sbe suc ceeded. I bad not been in camp long when I noticed a number of little children play ing around the door of a certain building. I stepped over and interviewed them. I found out that the building waa a school house, and the children were going to school. I afterwards found out that there was also a church in the camp and that they hold servicea there regularly. During the morning and afternoon I visited quite a number of the residences, in order to get acquainted with the people as well as advertise my business. The residences are all of them very rough looking on the outside, but when I stepped into those houses, what a contrast! I found elegence, culture and everything that goes to make home life pleasant. But this wasn’t the last of my surprises. During the afternoon I was informed by Mrs. Larkins that I was invited to spend the evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ifammet. The band was to meet and give a musical ontertainment. It seemed to me that the band consisted of the en tire camp, and I must confess that I nev er listened to finer music. There were four violinists and it soemed to me that everybody could play the organ. Wo had vocal solos and duetts. Mrs. Ilammet is the musical instructor of the camp. She played some fine selections on the organ and sang a solo or two with very marked ability and skill. I congratulated and thanked tiie company for the entertain ment. In thinking of it afterwards the fact was brought very forcibly to my mind, that it raakea no difference how isolated a community may be, in this United States of America, or how poor and hard working the inhabitants may be, if they utilize the opportunities that everybody can have who wills—and are Bober and industrious they can have prosperity, ed ucation, health and happiness. Very Respectfully, D r . C lark . C o m p u ls o r y .K iln c w tlo n In O r e g o n . In view of the fact that some children of school age are being kept out of school in this community the U hapiiic submits the following copy of the law on compul sory oducution: Sec. 05. Every parent, guardian or other person in tho state having control of a child or children between the ages of eight and fourteen years shall be required to send such child or children to a public school, (or a period of twelve weeks in ev ery school year, of which at least eight weeks school (shall) be consecutivo, un loss the bodily or mental condition of sucli child or children has been such as to prevent his or her or their attendance at school or application to study for the lieriod required, or unless such child or children are taught in a private school or ut homo in such brauchos as aro usually taught in primary schools or have already ocquirod tho ordinary brandies of learn ing taught in tho public schools; provided in caeo a public school shall not bo taught for a period n( twelve weeks, or any part thereof, during tho year, within two miles by tiie nearest traveled road of the resi dence of any person within the school district, he or site shall not be liable to the provisions of this act. Sec. (10. Any parent, guardian, or other |ierson having control or diarge of any child or children failing to comply witli tiie provisions of this act shall lie liablo to a fine of not less than five dol lars nor more than twenty-five dollars for tho first offense, nor loss than twenty-five dollars nor more than fifty dollars for tiie for tiie second and each subsequent offense liesides the cost of the prosecution. Sec. 07. It shall lie the duty of the di rectors and clerk of each school district to make diligent effort to see that this law is ouforced in their respective districts. Hoc. 08. Justices of the |ieoce shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the cir cuit court in all prosecutions under this set. Very few |ieople comprehend tho mag nitude ol the new eloetrie light plant now being put in at Oregon City. I’. F. Mo rey president of the electric company made (lie following statements witli ref erence to tho plant lost week to a party uf Portland capitalists, which we glean from the Enterprise: The old plant furnished electricity equal to 3,000 horee- power ami the new one, when completed, will furnish 15,000 horse|K>wer.

Beards of Elgin, Union county, was poisoned to death one day last week by eating jirosou weed seed. Francis D. Hillary who lived near Mc Minnville met his death recently Irom tiie savage attack of his Jersey bull while in the pasture. Oregon's crop of cured prunes will not exceed 100 car loads this year and Waah- ington will have about half that much.— Rural Northwest. Three parties at Tangent are engaged in raising beans. One has a crop of four acres another of eight acres and the third ten acres. A large crop is being har vested. Gen. J. A. Varney, a gentleman well known io the fruit growers of tiie state and a prominent Q. A. R. man died Sep tember 21, at Chenoweth Bark near Oak land, Cal. A Minneapoles commission houBe re porta the receipt of several car loada of potatoes which sold readily at $1.30 per hundred and gave excellent satisfaction as to quality. The California Fruit Grower says that large French prunes are not to be had in any quantities and orders for thexe have been turned down at 8Xc. for choice to fancy boxed goods. Col. E. Ilofer. of tiie Salem Journal, has gone east to his old Iowa home with his family, on a visit, and will probably make some republican speeches during the Iowa campaign now on. According to a Willowa paper the sales of cattle in Willowa county, this season have amounted to about 2,000 head and it is expected that 3,000 more will bo dis posed of in the next six weeks. The av erage price is about $20 por head. According to recent reports New Zea land has 118 butter and cheese factories and GO creameries. New Zealand is but little larger than Oregon and its actual settlement began about the same time. The population in 1891 was 675,775. The Rural Northwest urges fruit grow ers lo grade their French prunes closely this year. Tin re is an extraordinary scarcity of large prunes in California this year and aizes that run from 40 to 50 and 50 to 60 are in demand at about 3 cents above other sizes. Those who have large prunes and grade them properly will get good returns. The remains of George Colgate the de serted cook of tho notorious hunting party- headed by Wm. E. Carlin, son of Gen. Carlin waa discovered August 23, by Lieu tenant Elliott eight milee below the spot whore tiie desertion occurred on Clear water river. Everything points to the fact that the dersertion of poor Colgate by the Carlin party was cowardly. Tiie Eiffel tower is to he resioved from Paris to Baltimore at a cost of $500,000, and set up over the latter city as an orna- men \nd speculative enterprise connect ed with the fair lo be held there in 1807. It paid very well at tiie Paris exposition, of which it was one of the chief features, and it doubtless lias a satisfactory finan cial future before it in the new location to which it is destined. Willowa county sent seven fellows over the road last week for the pen at Salem. Threo of them Frank Sturgill, Sam Mc Alister and Ed Zendell, were convicted of cattle stealing, tho two former getting three years each and the latter one year. Dave Cameron and John Thomas got one yoar each for larceny from a dwelling and Dave Tucker and Wm. Howard got one year each for stealing hogs. During the big Hood of 1881, a 60 gallon iron kettle was taken off, by the forco of the water, from the old slaughter house just noith of town, then owned by John Baker. Tho matter caused considerable comment at the time, as uiany thought it rather singular that so lioavy a piece of hardware should be thus carried away, but nothing more was heard of the miss ing cauldron until last Friday, when M. O. Hart discovered it about threo miles below town. It was lying bottom side upwards, in two foot of water, and about 60 feet from shore. Tiie inside of the ket tle wan covered with a thick coating of grease, and was almost free from rust, al though it had been under water for near ly fourteen years.—Corvallis Gaulle. FROM O f R KXCHANtlKS. Y am hill C ounty R eporter. There is a pros|>ect of two new business firms in the city to occupy the vacant room* in tho Union block. One is a dry good* house from Woodhurn, the other boots and shoos from Albany. S. Potter, the Sheridan warehouseman and grain dealer, who was a business cal ler Wednesday, estimates that live thous and bushels of wheat have la-on hauled to Dayton from tho immediate vicinity of Sheridan, owing to high railroad tariffs. J. L. Stewart says that when be sold Hillary the bull, about two years ago, that took his life, he warned that tho an imal would kill him some day. The warning appears to have boen prophetic. It was not given, however, on account of any evil inclination it had shown, but ire- cause Hillary placed so much reliance in its docile disposition. Stewart's theory, and it is a safe one, is that all such ani mals are treacherous and not to bo trusted. A Grave Charge. Mr. C. Hawbaker, representing Wiley B. Allen & Co., of Portland spent two or three days in town this week investigat ing some business transactions made by A. A. Mead who has been acting as agent in this vicinity for some time for the above named firm. Mr. Hawbaker stated that Mr. Mead had not acted straight with the house and further stated that about the time Mead married Miss Edith Ellis of Middleton, the house in Portland received one or more letters from a lady over on the Sound who claimed to be the wife of Mead, asking for information re specting him. Mr. Mead left here sever al days ago with a horse belonging to J. M. Wright and a wagon belonging to Smith Bros., and os he was gone longer than the horse and wagon were engaged for and Mr. Hawbaker's statements were damaging, Lee Smith started out Tues day on a tour of investigation. Mead is known to have been over in tbe Big Nes- tucca country a few days ago and as we go to press he is expected in town any hour in company with Smith. It is to be hoped that Mr. Mead will be able to clear himself of all tbe above charges on his ar rival here.

N The low price of silver in Paris has stimulated the inventive genius of a man ufacturer, who lias consequently mode a new metal by means of an alloy of copper and silver, using the successfully propor tions of the two. He has really obtained an entirely new metal, one of an extraor dinary degree oi strength and most val uable for resisting sudden or long sus tained strains. There seems little doubt that the cost of production will not be so great as to prevent its large use io the future, even should silver greatly increase in val.qe. To the low nrice of silver will be credited the ides of using it as an amalgam for a specially high class of metal.—London Court Journal. £ V PULLM AN SL E E PIN G CARS. ELEGANT DININ G CARS.
